Question? Does any believe that a person can grieve years after a loss of someone? Or does anyone have any experiences in grieving after years of a loss? Meaning that you don't feel like you grieved for someone at the time of loss? Hope this makes some kind of sense? Never have been very good with words :s

It makes perfect sense. After my mother died I had to take care of my dad for the next two years. I don't feel like I went through the grief process at the time of my mother's death. I feel like I'm still processing it 6 years later, so you are not alone.

I don't feel that I've really grieved for my father's death, and it's been a little over a year.

I get what you mean. Everyone grieves differently. A loss may be devastating immediately or not be really felt until years after it occurred.

It sounds silly but it has just dawned on me that I never grieved over the loss of my nan 11yrs ago. I believe the reason was that I lost my teenage brother 7months before my nan had passed. I found myself today writing about her and her mental health problems. I guess the reason being I want to find out if I inherited my mental health problems from her? It just got so emotional and the guilt flooding in that if I knew back then what I know now, I could have perhaps helped her go through all that she did.
Or does it make me just feel guilt? I'm not sure? xXx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
